About my presentation


I chose the topic of the Enneagram of personality because I like this and and it makes little sense. The Enneagram is used in humanistic psychology, is the base in some therapies. I like the humanistic psychology and I identify with the principles of this, in fact, I did not choose to be a "humanistic psychologist", humanism chose me.

In the presentation, I think my organization was well, it was a logical order. On the other hand, I think it's very difficult to organize a short presentation because the topic is very deep and complex and the presentation is very short.

If I did it again, I would try to deepen more the topic. I feel I should have talked about the essence of the Enneagram, the philosophy behind the Enneagram.

As I said in my presentation, nobody knows the author of the enneagram, but it’s born in Babylonia culture. Today, some humanistic psychologists have studied the Enneagram and make contemporary theories adapted to today's society.

I think that this topic is interesting for the potential on self-knowledge. Not need to be
a humanistic psychology to use the Enneagram, self-knowledge and spiritual growth.

Santiago: the beautiful and the ugly


My vision of Santiago is very positive because I love this city with my entire hearth.
First, I love live in the capital: Santiago is the place of the opportunities in Chile because the majority of the things happens here: the best concerts, the art exhibitions, etcetera.
Second, Santiago is a big city with six millions of habitants, this place never finish! This is wonderful because to get bore is impossible, the possibilities are infinite.
But, for the other hand, Santiago have a many problems. I hate the geographic segregation: the rich people live in a place and the poor people in other place, that is not fair! In addition, the pollution will kill us someday and the public transport makes me cry, really.
For the change this situation we need finish with segregation:  rich people and poor people in the same place! No more exclusive neighborhoods!
We need renewable energy, recycle programs and education for the population. The people need know how recycle and why.
In the transport is completely necessary build more lines of underground and put in the Estate’s hands the Transantiago.
If I met a visitor, I would give him or her many tips: first, bargain the prices. Second, make  friends in order not visit the dangerous neighborhoods alone (because he must meet all Santiago) and, third, visit Barrio Bellavista, the museums, and the forest park, are beautiful and very fun!
